I appreciate the reply and certainly the info on the bike and the conversion. I don't know anything about mountain bikes but I am somewhat versed in road bikes. I do understand spending any real money on this bike would require shelling out more than it is worth but "worth" is a relative term.. LOL I like the bike, it suits the purpose and I prefer older stuff. It just isn't "quite right". I have nothing in the bike at this time, here is my question.. The bike has a Gary Fisher Evolution headset and fork, would it be possible for me to change the front fork and wheel/hub to a used one with disc and if so what should I look for? Does it have to be a specific fork size etc? Does not need to be severe duty as it will only be ridden on the street and occasional dirt road. Thanks again for the reply, Tod
